The Callaway Golf Performance Center in Carlsbad offers golfers the opportunity to customize their golf clubs with a Callaway specialist using state-of-the-art high-speed cameras and ball-flight simulators. Launch conditions, including ball speed, launch angle and spin rates, along with the ability to try a variety of clubs to optimize distance and accuracy are used to evaluate a player’s swing.

Guests who visit the lab get a three-hour session that includes both Gears analysis along with confirming the customized clubs on an outdoor grass range.
